    Electrical Right Side Brake Lights Not Working

    2004 GT Running lights, hazard lights, turn signals, reverse lights all work perfect. All bulbs illuminate normally, dim for the running lights, and bright for the hazards/turn signals. However, when I press the brake pedal, only the left side and third brake light illuminate. Any ideas? I...

    Clutch Engagement Point Is Varying

    I thought it was in my head at first but lately I've been noticing that occasionally it seems like the clutch is engaging at different points. Sometimes it will engage right as I'm releasing the pedal from the floor and other times it don't engage until the pedal is a 1/4 of the way out (the...

    What Tire Pressure Are You Guys Running?

    Been meaning to ask this for a while. Door says 32psi I believe but that seems kind of high. So what are you guys doing front and back? I think my rears were around 25 and fronts around 27-28.

    What Size Tire Are You Guys Running On Your 18x10s?

    It's about that time again. The rears are shot. I have 18x9's up front with 275/35/18 Nitto NT555's. Currently on the back are Falken 315/30/18's that I got an insane deal on and couldn't pass but I wasn't a big fan of the sidewall height. Had 295/35/18 BFG KDW2's before the Falkens and I...

    5-speed Drivers With 3.73's

    I shouldn't even be asking this as I've driven a 5spd Mustang for 6 years but... At what speed do you guys normally use 5th gear? Do you use it around the city? I have 3.73's and at 45mph I'm around 2200 RPMs in 4th, and 50mph is about 2500 RPMs. Seems a little high. So I normally shift to...

    O2 Sensor Trouble Codes?

    So lately my car has started giving me these 2 codes. I clear them, and the next time I start the car, about 5 minutes into driving they return. P0138 - O2 Circuit High Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2) P2271 - O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Rich (Bank 1, Sensor 2) I understand Bank 1 is the passenger...

    1/4 mile with similar set up?

    I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I'm curious. I've only raced 2-3 times in my life and went 14.2 before headers, gears, pullies, tune. That's also spinning halfway through second gear on a crappy track. And of course a 2 sec+ 60ft. Those who have similar setups, what are your...

    How did you guys Sea Foam?

    About to do it for the first time just to flush the gunk out but also to check for exhaust leaks. I have an '04 GT with about 64,000 miles on it. Do I need to put it in the oil as well? Good idea to change the oil afterwards if that's the case? I planned to just put half in through the PCV...

    What battery are you using?

    I think my 2-year old Wal-Mart battery is about to let go. What are you guys using? Specs? What's the minimum CA and CCA I should go with on a 2004 GT? Has the EverStart 58-3S with 540 CA and 450 CCA. Might be able to get a deal on this...

    I love American Muscle

    As you guys heard in my headlight pics thread, I bought a pair of smoked headlights from AM a year ago. They began peeling so I contacted AM to find the manufacturer to check on warranty replacement. No questions asked, AM offered to replace them and were in the mail within 24hrs and a return...

    How do these lights look?

    So I had to send a pair of these back because the coating started peeling after a year. The new pair they sent seem to have more noticeable amber corners than the previous set. So, do you guys think this looks ok with the blue? I think I might have to send this pair back as well so I'm...

    New Exhaust Tips? Magnaflow

    I currently have a Magnaflow catback with the 3.5" tips but I've been thinking about getting some rolled chrome tips of similar size if they're fairly priced. Anyone have anything they'd like to recommend? Something compatible with the Magnaflow system? I'm pretty sure the ones I have now...

    Anyone used Discount Tire Direct's Free Replacement Certificates?

    Just bought a couple Nitto 555's in 275/35/18 to replace my worn fronts. $201 a piece and the certificates are an extra $25 per tire. I opted to save the $50 as I've never had a tire issue that couldn't be repaired easily. Just curious on your thoughts. Total was $408 delivered with valve...

    What are these holes for in my back seat?

    Removed all of the rear interior to trace a leak (as mentioned in the other thread). There is one of these holes on each side and one side is missing the adhesive panel. Just curious what purpose these serve. Probably just going to duct tape them shut before I put the panels back. The...

    Car is leaking, removing panels?

    Had a good little rainstorm, got in my car not long ago and saw this. Great, something else to deal with. What's the easiest way to pull those panels off? Passenger side 1/4 window. I figured I'll have my brother spray the car with a hose in that area tomorrow while I sit inside and try to...

    When do you guys change spark plugs?

    I bought the car with 33k miles on it and it now has 63k. Not sure if the previous owner ever touched them. Long story short, had a misfire today. P0316 - Misfire Detected On Startup (First 1000 Revolutions) P0300 - Random Misfire Detected Car was shaking at startup but this has happened...

    Choose my tire size based on this pic

    Help with tires and tire pressure...Guys with 315s in here also

    First off, what rear tire pressure are you guys running? I have 315s on the back with 3.73 gears and I still spin half way through second with 270rwhp. It annoys the crap out of me. I'm running around 33psi on Falken Azenis RT-615 315/30/18s. Now, the main reason for the thread. What size...

    Quick ricer question

    How do you guys think my car would look with a black wing? Someone is selling one on Craigslist for $30 in great shape. Maybe worth a shot. How difficult to swap? Only pic I can get to in the iPad right now...
